Guess what?!?
I got my package in the mail from Krystal - my accessories swap partner from over at MJ's blog. I got hers off in the mail so she should be getting it soon!!! I hope she likes what I picked out for her as much as I liked what she sent me!
This was my first "blog swapping" experience and it was a success!!!
I enjoyed it and I want to host something soon...
any good ideas on what we should "theme" it with?
Don't you love it? So "Baily" right?
You did well, girlfriend! :)
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
Guess what else?!?
I was EXTRA delighted by her sending this boho bracelet from AE because I have the same one, but I can't wear it anymore because it is so stretched out and faded.
I mean, I could wear it but I usually choose not to because it's pretty special and has sentimental meaning behind it and I don't want to lose it.
The reason it is sentimental is because it was the first piece of jewelry I bought myself after the fire. My best friend/roommate, Jackie, had bought me my first "hippie bracelet" to get my collection going again a couple of days after the fire when we were both living in the hotel. I loved it so much that I wanted another to go along with it.. you know, trying to rebuild my sleeve of boho bracelets and all. I went to American Eagle and found this one which I though "hmm, that's so ME - pearls and leather... Southerny but eclectic." And that's why I bought it.
And that's also why I won't wear it - because I don't want to lose it and I let it get too stretched out.
So, in other words - I won't let this one get wet like I did the other one and I will use the clasp and not try to squeeze it over my wrist/hand even though they're tiny, and I'll take extra good care of it since it is extra special. I just thought it was SO NEAT that she picked out the same one! It meant something more than a random blogger swap... that is what I am trying to say.
In her note, she said "I didn't know if American Eagle was your "thing" or not but they have good boho and vintage inspired things..."
Well, I happen to love AE's jewelry!
Seriously... check out my collection!
pretty groovy, huh?
peace and love
baily
